[FC-discuss] New free culture documentary in development

[Matthew J. Agnello]

This is an announcement regarding a new documentary on free culture.  
If this is deemed inappropriate for this list, please ignore/remove  
the post.

I wanted to let everyone know about a new documentary being developed  
about the free culture movement, tentatively titled COPYCAT. I'm  
exploring the effect the Internet has had on our culture and our  
behavior as a society. Specifically, I'm looking into the myriad of  
communication tools available on the Internet and exploring how they  
have affected the way we create and experience our own culture. The  
result will be a series of short episodes culminating with a final  
feature-length piece that draws them all together, similar to what  
Steal This Film is doing. The episodes as well as the final project  
will be released BY-SA.

I've set up a variety of outlets for users to track and contribute to  
the development of the project. Using Lessig's corruption wikinotes as  
an example, I've set up a series of pages on my wiki for keeping track  
of required reading, current events, people I should know about, etc.  
You can find the portal at http://www.hungryfilmmaker.com/wiki/Portal:Copycat 
. If you'd like to contribute, please go to the wiki, create an  
account, and poke around a bit.

I also have a del.icio.us page for keeping track of online research  
and a twitter account for short-form updates. I've made a post with  
all the details on my blog at http://hungryfilmmaker.blogspot.com/  
titled "Open notes."

I'll also be at the SPARC-ACRL forum on scholarship in the 21st  
century in Philadelphia. If you'd like to contribute in other ways,  
please send me an e-mail.

Best,
// Matt
